Tanzania is the third largest coffee producer in Africa and produces about one percent of the world’s Arabica coffee. The majority of Tanzanian coffee is exported by brokers and sold to wholesalers and distributors in other countries by green coffee importers. Tanzania coffee bean is grown on mountainside “fincas” (farms) at 1400 to 1800 meters above sea level. The major coffee-growing regions include Arusha (Meru), the Moshi district (on the slopes of Kilimanjaro), Oldeani (in the Arusha region), and Pare, the high plateau between Lake Taganyika and Lake Nyassa as well as Songea, the capital of the Ruvuma region of southeastern Tanzania where the Ruvuma River forms most of the southern boundary with Mozambique.
